Fragment of a private account listing small payments, apparently by day, to a teacher, a fuller-woman, plasterers, a donkey-driver named Diogenes and others, and for a flask and household needs. It dates to the 3rd or 4th century AD and probably comes from Oxyrhynchus.
The figures (21, 22) carry no stated unit, probably sums of money. The word after Diogenes' name in column 2 is unread and left untranslated.
